I don’t have a grandiose name. For right now, as a placeholder, I want to call it Powerbuilding – Powerlifting + Bodybuilding.

The core of my program:

Squat

Deadlift

Bench

Press

Squat +10

Deadlift +15

Bench +10

Press +10

Stronglifts does +15 on Deadlifts and Squats and +10 for Bench and OHP per week on average. The only place I didn’t go for par is Squat. I wanted to go a bit slower for Squats than I would in Stronglifts.

Minimally, I need to make it to the gym 3 days a week. Often, it will look like this:
